Cher is the mother of a trans-person and she is an active member of PFLAG (Parents, Families And Friends Of Lesbians And Gays). She has even admitted to having had affairs with women in the 1970s (but who among us us has not?).
I follow her on Twitter and Cher never lets me down. Online authenticity is a carefully curated myth. Cher brings a kind of emotional nakedness and honesty that is rarely celebrated on the social media. Cher tweeted this, accompanied by a dozen money bag emoji.

It is my understanding that Gay People love Cher and Cher loves them right back:
I love Gay men especially. They either love you or they don’t even notice that you’re on the planet. I think what they like is a strong woman that’s having a breakdown constantly, and that certainly is me. Judy Garland‘s got nothing on me.
Cher claims that her love of gay men is from her early experiences of meeting them:
I was nine years old and my mother had these two friends who came over. They were hairdressers, of course, who came cha cha’ing into our front door, and in the beginning I thought gay was code for fun, and I said to my mom, why are these guys so much more fun than the rest of your friends?
